It’s been said that every jetliner that is in the air right now has a 1in hairline fracture in it somewhere? But that the plane is designed for the failure of any one or two parts?

Software doesn’t exactly work the same way. You can make “AI” that operates more like [0,1] but at the end of the day the computer is still going to {0,1}.
